The problem with these apps is that they're only alternatives if your friends use them too.

Guess what - they've been doing this since WhatsApp was invented. They're just now getting around to telling you about it.

Yes.
Use Signal or Telegram instead.
I have installed Signal on my phone and am requesting my family and friends to install it as well so that my communications stay private.

WhatsApp is handy, but definitely not irreplaceable - e.g. Signal, Viber, etc. The problem is, if you move to Viber, (for instance), you need all of your contacts to do the same. Yep! Not going to happen! I'm guessing most of us are going to accept the new terms - as it's easier! We have better things to be doing with our lives than trying to organise a mass exodus from WhatsApp. I'm not condoning it. Just saying.
I suspect it would be a whole lot easier for people to close their FarceBook account, (although I'm not on it, so not an expert), so maybe that's a better place to (un)register your objections.

The point that most bothers me (personally) is not the fact that they already do that as stated in this article, for me the most annoying (but not surprising) part is how MZ has lied us in the face. Secondly if they already make money with us and our information, why are they going to insert publicity in (not confirmed yet, but rumours increasing)?.
That "fvck you all" position is what irritates me most.

Because given that it starts every episode of your life, it's technically your theme song ...

That would mean I have a snooze button too to pause/delay ...

Oh, if only life had a "pause" button! I suspect it would be broken after last year ...

Old age eliminates the need for an alarm. Anyway, mine sounds a lot like snoring.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Regardless of the rights or wrongs of it (and that's political, so I'll stay well clear) it means one important thing:
We all have more followers than the President of the USA.

Not for another 10 days. Biden is the President Elect until his inauguration (on the 20th Jan) and takes the Oath of Office. Trump remains President (baring impeachment etc.) until that occurs.
